Harlan's investment process first seeks to understand the unique attributes of your company as well as, your goals in a transaction. We want to quickly assess if we're the right fit for each other and if we can deliver a transaction with the appropriate capital that meets your needs and gives you the exit approach you desire. Whether you want to cash out completely and exit after a short transition, or take some chips off the table and continue leading your company for the next 4-7 years, Harlan addresses your unique situation with a custom solution. In addition to Harlan's capital, we identify other people, capital and stakeholders who will bring value to your goals, plan and company.
If we collectively choose to move forward, you'll find a collaborative approach to developing a strong transition plan. You and your employees will go through strategic exercises to affirm we're on the right track for focused, deliberate growth. While many investment groups adopt a cut-cut-cut attitude, or act like the smartest guys in the room, Harlan adheres to a family-first approach that values each employee and their experience. After all, you and your team grew your company to where it is today! We know they'll bring valuable insight on how to develop your business.
